The Sacrifice of Praise

Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God

a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that confess his name.

Hebrews 13:15

Throughout the Scriptures, we are told that there are many ways to praise and worship God.

But what does it mean to offer a sacrifice of praise?

Bringing to God a sacrifice of praise means that we acknowledge Him above our circumstances.

It means living our lives in such a way that we honor and glorify Him no matter what is going on around us.

We rejoice in all things.

Here's an example:

suppose someone offends you and you feel like giving them a piece of your mind,

but instead you just smile.

Do you know what you just did?

By your actions you were saying,

"I am living at a higher level. I am acknowledging God in every circumstance."

On the highway, when somebody cuts you off and you are just about to let them know what you think,

but instead you look over and smile, that's giving a sacrifice of praise.

Bear in mind that God promises to dwell among the praises of His people.

When you constantly and continually offer up praise,

you are inviting God's presence and power into every area of your life!

Have a blessed & powerful day!
